Complainte de la Seine

(original)
Au fond de la Seine
Il y a de l’or,
Des bateaux rouillés,
Des bijoux, des armes.
Au fond de la Seine
Il y a des larmes.
Au fond de la Seine
Il y a des fleurs,
De vase et de boue
Elles sont nourries.
Au fond de la Seine
Il y a des coeurs
Qui souffrient trop
Pour vivre la vie.
Et puis des cailloux
Et des bêtes grises,
L'âme des égouts
Soufflant des poisons,
Les anneaux jetés
Par des incomprises,
Des pieds qu’une hélice
A coupés du trone.
Et les fruits maudits
Des ventres stériles,
Laits blancs avortés
Que nul n’aima,
Les vomissements
De la grand' ville,
Au fond de la Seine
Il y a cela.
O Seine clémente
Ou vont des cadavres,
Au lit dont les draps
Sont faits de limon.
Fleuve des déchets
Sans fanal ni havre,
Chanteuse berçant
La morgue, ils le font.
Accueille le pauvre
Accueille le pauvre
Accueille la femme
Accueille la femme
Accueille l’ivrogne,
Accueille le fou,
Mêle leurs sanglots
Au bruit de tes larmes
Et porte leur coeur
Et porte leur coeur
Et porte leur coeur
Parmi les cailloux.
Au fond de la Seine
Il a de l’or,
Des bateaux rouillés,
Des bijoux, des armes.
Au fond de la Seine
Il y a des morts
Au fond de la Seine
Il a des larmes.
(translation)
At the bottom of the Seine
There is gold,
rusty boats,
Jewelry, weapons.
At the bottom of the Seine
There are tears.
At the bottom of the Seine
There are flowers,
Of silt and mud
They are fed.
At the bottom of the Seine
There are hearts
who suffered too much
To live life.
And then pebbles
And gray beasts,
The Soul of the Sewers
blowing poisons,
The thrown rings
By misunderstandings,
Feet than a propeller
Cut off from the throne.
And the cursed fruits
barren bellies,
Aborted white milks
that no one loved,
vomiting
From the big city,
At the bottom of the Seine
There is that.
O merciful Seine
Where the corpses go
In bed whose sheets
Are made of silt.
waste river
Without beacon or haven,
female singer rocking
The morgue, they do.
Welcome the poor
Welcome the poor
Welcome the wife
Welcome the wife
Welcome the drunk,
Welcome the fool,
Mix their sobs
At the sound of your tears
And carry their heart
And carry their heart
And carry their heart
Among the stones.
At the bottom of the Seine
He has gold,
rusty boats,
Jewelry, weapons.
At the bottom of the Seine
There are dead
At the bottom of the Seine
He has tears.
